It has yet to have been adequately explained to us how any of this is any good

Folks, it’s all pretty simple. You want universal managed health care then someone is going to have to manage it.




And we suppose it was a journalistic nod to the freak show at the carny but Newsweek allowed Codepink cofounder, Medea Benjamin to chime in with respect to Congressional handling of the financial sector. It was standard boiler plate lefty populism that concluded with this paragraph from the bearded lady, herself:

The economic crisis, and the public's furor over executive pay and behavior, has provided Congress with an opportunity not just to rein in CEO compensation but also to remake the out-of-touch, irresponsible corporate system. Until that happens, we'll keep wearing our signs.

Out-of-touch… That’s an interesting phrase given the context. Just how out-of-touch does one have to be to believe that the most out-of-control, vindictive, disingenuous and unethical Congress in generations would effectively remake or rein-in anything?

The secessionist movement is moving forward. Texas has it in their constitution. It is as American as "Apple Pie" Mongo has chastised this movement. The government is corrupt to it's core and ungovernable and unsustainable.

Do we go down with the Titanic?

Do not be afraid, obsolve the government! It's not the constitution our founding fathers put in place. Let the pendulum swing with the government take-over. What the secessionist movement grow.
